“White Nights” was the fourth single off of Oh Land’s second album “Oh Land”.
The song’s title is a reference to summer nights, when the sun goes down but it never really gets dark.
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Has it been a day or a week?
As my eyes begin to close
I am walking in my sleep
Living in a state in-between
Do the signs begin to show?
See the eyes, there in the dark
As they glow
As they glow
[Chorus]
These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
These dreams under my pillow
In the bright light of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Something is about to be born
There's a restlessness in me
Keeps me up until the dawn
There is no silence
I will keep following the sirens
There is no silence
I will keep following the sirens
[Chorus]
These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
These dreams under my pillow
In the bright light of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
These dreams under my pillow
In the bright light of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
